For the second time this year Copenhagen Suborbitals will take to the Baltic sea, where they will conduct a pad abort test with the capsule Tycho Deep Space named Beautiful Betty. The test will be conducted in the launch window August 10-12, if the weather will allow it.

TDS will be liftet by a LES engine with the thrust of 80 kN, and take the 500 kg, 200 cm diameter boilerplate capsule to an altitude of 1 km.

This test will examine the the state of some of the subsystems, that have been develop to be used in a future 160 cm diameter capsule design, that eventually will see suborbital flight.

The major goal for this test is the parachutes system, that consists a drogue, normally used for drag racing, and 3 main cross type DIY parachutes, each with 40 sqm effective drag area.

Another system that is going to be tested is the uprighting system, that will ensure that the capsule will end up in a stable 1 position after splashdown.
